Review of House of Flying Daggers (2004) by Gnarles — 12 Feb 2006
The first 90 minutes or so are simply great, but the climax eventually becomes almost unbearably silly - and the alarmingly fake CGI snowstorm doesn't help. Until that point, though, this is a beautiful and satisfyingly passionate movie, with some of the best fight scenes ever shot (especially the bamboo forest).
Recommended, but don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing at the end.
